A Portrait of a Big History: A Russian Artist Draws the Past

Victoria ("Vika") Lomasko is a Russian graphic artist. Her work focuses on graphic reportage through the means of murals and graphic art in literature. In 2019, Vika came to Miami University as an artist-in-residency at the invitation of the Havighurst Center, during which she created the first of a series of murals in the U.S. and abroad. The mural, Atlases, can be seen on the third floor of King Library.

Vika's book "Other Russias" was translated into in six languages and received the Pushkin House Best Book in Translation 2018 award.  Her latest book The Last Soviet Artist, was published in 2022; it is a chronicle of an artist reflecting on art in a region undergoing major political changes.

Vika currently lives in exile in Berlin, Germany.
